I’ve spent a little time working on a project to learn ECMA6 and the process of transpiling it down to ECMA6. The project is essentially rewriting a collection of code I’ve previously written in other languages and merging them together to play nicely. I’m now considering developing it further into a survival game.

So far I’ve put together the bulk of the city generation and the polygon path finding. The polygon mesh currently consists of the roads and a very basic algorithm for building layout. In the image the polygons are only visible for the current city block you’re currently in. This is only temporary so you can see the room layout as there’s no building textures yet.

I had originally thought that having procedurally generated building layouts would be good but I’m now thinking that having preset layouts would be a better idea.

There’s some lag while moving around the world which I’ve got to address and I’ve still to combine the perimeter buildings as they’re currently split by the city block edges. I’m also eager to get some sort of gameplay added in.
